Can You Work with Kidney Failure

With kidney failure, you do not only cost a lot of money on treatment, but also can not take part in work normally. In some cases, your family has to accompany you to hospitalize.

-If your creatinine level is higher than the normal range, and your blood pressure and uric acid level are also high, you can only do some easy works.

-If your disease is active or developing, for example, you have proteinuria, elevation of creatinine level, cyst rupture, etc, you should stop work immediately and take treatment aggressively. When it gets remission into the first two conditions, you can work.

What should take precaution during work?

We should do the adjustment according to GFR, because GFR is an indicator of kidney function. Under normal circumstance, GFR is low in the morning, and it begins to increase to the maximum until noon. And then it will decrease. In the evening, it is the lowest.

Therefore, you should start work in the morning and stop it in the evening. Avoid staying up and work overtime.

In addition, you should go to receive examination regular to check your conditions.

At last, uremia patients can also take part in job if they do not have any complications.

If you are on hemodialysis, you should adjust work time and dialysis time. Do not shorten or delay the dialysis time because of work. If you are on peritoneal dialysis, you need to change gauze in the day, so you should ensure the environment you stay is very clean. If there is not suitable room, you can do it in the clean car.
